Day Fifteen - The Blowhole

This morning the waves were pretty big so we just bobbed in the waves instead of snorkelling. Afterwards Uncle Barry treated Riley, Jessi, Trudi, Jen and myself to a delicious shave ice. I got Green Apple/Lemon Lime. Yum! Jen and I tried adding gummi bears to the bottom. That was a bad idea! LOL.

In the afternoon, Jessi, Tony, Sally and I grabbed some Thai food and headed for the Blowhole in West Maui. On the drive Jessi and I told Tony and Sally to watch out for whales since whalewatching season is starting on Monday. Tony laughed and said that there was no way we would see whales from the road. Moments later we spotted a spout then was saw a whale breaching! LOL. Talk about good timing. It was about 1/2 mile offshore (or closer) and was probably the best sighting we've seen. I couldn't see much since I was driving but the rest really enjoyed it!

We stopped in Lahaina at Dan's Green House. They had little baby pigs and parrots. I was lucky to drag Jessi out of there without a new baby pig in tow.



We finally found the blowhole and were not disappointed. Here's a shot of the blowhole at full hight. There's a guy in the photo who can give you a sense of the scale.
